Autumn Pancakes with Caramelized Walnuts

This is a dish my family looks forward to every autumn, one they especially enjoy on Thanksgiving morning. After I get my turkey all stuffed and in the oven, I wake my family with the wonderful aroma of pumpkin pancakes topped with caramelized walnuts with sausage & bacon on the side. It's a tradition I started with my family when my children were just babies. One I hope they carry on to their children.

** I have adapted this family recipe to be gluten-free, recipe included.

They are also a great "make ahead" dish. I freeze them with wax paper between each pancake for a quick breakfast!

Notes from the Test Kitchen:
Light and fluffy with flavor from the allspice and cinnamon, these pancakes are really good. The candy walnuts add some crunch and sweetness. I may make the walnuts again just for a snack, they're that good. I can't imagine a better way to wake up on a fall morning, than to the aroma from these pumpkin pancakes sizzling on the stove.
